Works great! but no option to choose audio devices

MS Remote desktop for Mac works smoothly on my Macbook Pro with multi screen setup. The only annoyance is that I can not chose which audio input and output to share with remote desktop session. So, for instance, using Microsoft Teams video calls on the Windows computer will use "remote audio" and that will be one of the available microphones and one of the available audio outputs. So the sound could come out of the monitor and the mic on the laptop might be the input source, which does not work wel... when I want to use my headset for both. But other than that it works flawlessly and is super smooth!
